Documentation

Definition

Variance category on the input side.

Difference between the target costs and the control costs caused by the consumables and activities being used differently in the target costs than in the control costs.

Use

The variance calculation process determines the resource-usage variances by period for each cost element.

Resource-usage variances are calculated if either no control costs or no target costs exist for a cost element, a cost center (activity or distribution), an origin group, a material, and the plant for the material.

With target/actual comparisons, resource-usage variances are defined by the following formulas:

Resource-usage variance = Actual costs - Target costs - Input price variance
Fixed resource-usage variance = Fixed actual costs - Fixed target costs
- Fixed input price variance

With plan/plan comparisons of cost objects to calculate planning variances, the actual costs in the formulas are replaced with the plan control costs.

Dependencies

Origin group, material, and plant only exist in Cost Object Controlling.

Examples

Suppose your finished product FIN X uses raw material RAW A. The standard cost estimate for FIN X includes the cost of RAW A.

When you produce the material, RAW A turns out to be faulty. You decide to use RAW B instead.

The use of RAW B, however, results in higher costs than would have been the case with RAW A. The difference between the costs planned for RAW A and the costs incurred by RAW B are reported by the system as a resource-usage variance.
